Hi,
I found a strange behaviour of the "used storage" built-in settings app. I deleted aproximately 0,5gb of apps such as HTC Speak etc. and nothing changed, nor in installed apps, nor in others.
It still says apps - 3,24Gb and Others 4,17Gb.
But when I click on Make some space, it counts only 530Mb in apps. How is it even possible?
And how to let the phone to learn how to calculate storage properly?

I keep getting the low disk space notification, usually after clearing maps data it goes away, but it is quite annoying as Android stops accepting texts when the disk is full. I have moved ALL apps to my SD card but still the problem persists. I am guessing there is some stray data in my system but haven't been able to pin down it's location. I've also looked around in my apps list for apps that use lots of storage space but all of them use 500kb at most (except for Maps and sometimes browser).
I currently have around 40 user apps installed on my SD card and I have 10mb space left on my phone, while I've read others have 100+ apps installed and have no problems. I'm running OpenDesire.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem may be?
My whatsapp application size has risen to nearly 10mb of internal storage. I was wondering if there is a way to decrease the size while keeping my conversations (e.g. removing cache and such). I tried removing and reinstalling the app, but to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.
Move app too sd card. If it does not support this, i do not know anything you could do. It's just a big app.
Currently on my device I show:
Total Space
28.13gb
apps
1.78gb
pictures
558mb
audio
220kb
downloads
1.07gb
available
12.62gb
Granted, my math sucks, but am I not missing a little bit of space? Only thing I can think of is my "old" cached Google Play Music, but I have done 2 wipes and installed 2 different ROMs and same thing. Any ideas on how to track this down?
fyi, I went to the supposed folder where Google keeps it's cached music and it was empty.
I show about the same difference, but storage isn't picking up about 9gigs of app data i knowi have. In my case it's 9gigs of offline topo maps i keep. I'll bet its the same with you

Very new to Android, and once again I'm not sure if this is Android or an OGP function...
I'm confused as to what the purpose is of all of the separate tasks, task manager, and running app screens that are on the phone....
When I hit and hold the home button, I get a list of recently used apps. Are they running in the background, or is it just a list of closed apps (or a combination of the two)? Is this solely so I can get to a recently opened app a bit faster? It seems to be just as fast to re-launch these apps from the home screen.
If I hit "Clear all" the list empties. But, if I then hit the button directly to it's right "Task Manager", I see a list of apps that are still running, with the option to "stop" each one separately or "stop all". I thought I had just stopped everything when I had "cleared" the list. I guess not.
So, after hitting "Stop all" I get a message on the screen that says "No applications". There are 0 applications running, and the Ram numbers are: RAM 1.46GB used, 550MB free. So, i'm guessing that even though I stopped all of these running apps, there is still stuff running like the OS and other programs. What then is this Task Manager supposed to be used for? Why are the apps I just "stopped" on this screen, and not on the Settings/Apps/Running page?
I then immediately go to Settings, Apps, Running. This list shows 22 apps currently running. I'm assuming these are things that need to run so the phone doesn't crash, and so it will perform properly. But, of the 22 that are running right now I have Redbox listed (The DVD movie rental kiosks), Norton Mobile Security (which I can understand why it is still running), Google Maps (this is listed twice with different amounts of memeory and time open listed), On-Screen Phone (no idea what that is), and a bunch of Google, LG, AT$T apps and some others like weather, VuTalk, Google Play music, Email, Media and a few others.
Why are some of these running? Things like Redbox? AirDroid? Why two instances of Google Maps? LG Keyboard (it's not on screen, but its using 36MB), Same thing with "Media".
Also, whats the difference between processes and services? Some of the mentioned apps have 2 processes and 1 service, while others will have the numbers in the reverse order.
Would someone please explain what the differences are between all of these different task manager/app screens and their purpose. And whats the story with processes and services?
As far as yor ram goes in task manager its just a paused apps stored data. You can clear it but it doesnt really do you any good. The way android works is it pauses an app when you leave and info is stored in ram, if your phone runs low on ram it just starts taking from the longest paused app so you will not run out of ram and get choppy. So it isnt necessary to clear it. Your recents list is just that.
There is also a setting in task manager to auto clear ram regularly.

Does anyone use whatsapp with parallel space? I do not know if it's a problem of the app or of my MiA2Lite but when a message arrives on the second SIM the notification does not appear and I have to open parallel and the second whatsapp every time to check if there are new messages. Does it happen to you too?
have you tried to disable battery optimization and allow background data for both, WhatsApp and parallel space?
Check if parallel have access on notifications. Must be enable. By the way, how you get it working?
I can install, but when I try to add an account inside Parallel, it don't pass the "loading data" screen. Similar apps like Dual Space or Dr. Clone act the same.
